Karl Marx said that it is the bourgeoisie, not the proletariat nor the ruling class, that is the impediment to the implementation of communism and that the annihilation of the middle class will be necessary for world-wide communism to be established. He also pronounced that once communism is established government will become unnecessary and will cease to exist--and a few other hare-brained ideas that the Morons of the World have united around.

All this assumes that I remember History 101 correctly. It's been a while, but my IQ has been tested and scored in the genius range--not unusual, I know, for those posting on Free Republic and something to which I attached very little significance until I realized how many Morons there are out there armed with the vote and registered as Democrats which in itself is a reliable IQ test.
